The wait is over as the shiniest star will finally land on your TV screens!

Asia's Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo's first-ever digital concert Tala: The Film Concert is set to make its TV debut via GMA Network.

Originally premiered on March 27, 2021, the best-selling two-hour online concert will bring explosive entertainment into your Sunday afternoon as it airs on July 18, 4:35 p.m., after Dear Uge on GMA Channel 7.

Brace yourselves for the full-blown 18-song production as Sarah celebrates her 18th year in the showbiz industry.

Shot during the COVID-19 lockdown, the award-winning creative team behind Tala: The Film Concert saw challenges in mounting the concert, yet they have managed to pull off a world-class production amidst the ongoing pandemic.

"The first challenge talaga in making this concert is to convince everybody that we can actually mount a concert like this. Siyempre, it's gonna be a challenge for all of us kung paano natin gagawin 'yun kaya naman we did our best, we did our research. Tiningnan namin 'yung mga foreign productions, 'yung mga ibang ginagawa ng mga artists both locally and internationally," said concert director and creative producer Paul Alexei Basinillo.

Sarah keeps our spirits up as she begins the show with her nostalgic "Sa Iyo," followed by her electrifying "Kilometro" performance.

She exudes energy with her version of foreign hits -- "Blinding Lights" of The Weekend, Dua Lipa's "Levitating" and "Break My Heart," and BTS's "Dynamite."

Stripped down, Sarah gives soulful renditions of her hit ballads like "Dulo," "Misteryo," "Duyan," and "Isa Pang Araw."

She shares the spotlight with three special guests. Hale's vocalist Champ Lui Pio joins her in "The Great Unknown." Sarah's lovely White Samoyed dog named 04 has a special participation in her version of the Rico Blanco hit, "Your Universe." Lastly, her husband, Matteo Guidicelli, serenades her with Daniel Bedingfield's "If You're Not The One" which is followed by their very sweet duet of Ed Sheeran's "Best Part of Me."

Her mind-blowing "Ikot-ikot" performance is a standout, a never-before-seen act in Philippine concerts, and her breathtaking 2021 version of her smash hit "Tala" will surely get your groove on.

With Sarah's show-stopping performances and top-notch production headed by musical director Louie Ocampo, creative director Georcelle Dapat-Sy, and award-winning concert director Paul Basinillo, Tala: The Film Concert breaks records of various entertainment platforms.

Kapuso abroad in the USA, Canada, Middle East, Europe, Hong Kong, and South Korea, on the other hand, can watch the Popstar Royalty's concert stage comeback this July 18 on GMA Pinoy TV.

Tala: The FIlm Concert will also be available in Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Japan on July 19 on GMA's flagship international channel.
